| - I started to give 3/3.5 stars, but as I write the review and laugh about some of the funny things that happened, I have to go 4 stars. I love that Janice C. refers to this show as ZumanTities, because I would have to agree. In most Cirque shows, the costumes are elaborate and entertaining, but this show is almost completely void of costumes...unless you count the zipper pants that the Fabio look-a-like took off one section at a time.
The front row love seats (booths for 2) provide an extreme up-close-and-personal view of the entire show (for better or for worse). The only part that I wished I was sitting up higher for was the rotating orgy bed portion. I think it would have been better to see everything happening at once rather than one scene rotating by our faces at a time.
If you want to be included in the show, these are definitely THE seats to sit in. Everytime they came close to us, my girlfriend clenched my hand, stared at the floor, and made it very obvious that she did not want to be included. That actually saved me twice. Once, I would have ended up holding boob baggies (hilarious bit) and the other time I would have been sans shirt on the orgy bed. Thanks, honey. The guy and girl who were called up for the orgy bed scene actually ended up being mother and son. That made it even funnier.
During our show, there was a couple in the audience that had been married for 59 years. They were from Australia. The host brought them up on stage and asked them some questions. One question, directed at the husband was whether or not he participated in a threesome back in the day. His answer was, "Yes, we had quite a few threesomes back in Australia". When the host turned to his wife and asked if she was there, she responded with "Oh yes!" Everybody was cracking up. They must have been in their 70's or 80's.
Not your typical Cirque show, but definitely worth a try unless you are uber conservative, boring, up tight, or uncomfortable in your own skin. Being with the wrong person might also impact your good time. Have a few drinks to loosen up before you walk in, and be sure to get your seats early. The pre-show is one of the funniest parts.
